The Seven Cuticura Boys

These seven beautiful boys owe their beauty
of skin, luxuriance of hair, purity of blood and
freedom from hereditary taint or humors to the
celebrated CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Thousands ofchildren are born into the world
every day with some eczemetous affections, such
as milk crust, scal head, scurf or dandruff, sure
to develope into an agonizing eczema, the Itch
ing, burning and dis6guration of which make
life prolonged torture unless properly treated.
A warm bath with Guticura Soap, an exquisite
Skin Beautiier, and a single application of
Cuticura, the Great Skin Cure, with little
Cuticura Resolvent, the New Blood Purifier, is
often sufficient to arrest the progress of the
disease, and point to speedy, permanent cure.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old, was attacked with
virulent, malignant skin disease; all ordinary
remedies failing, we called our family physi-
clan, who attempted to cure it; but it spread
with almost incredible rapidity, until the lower
portion of the little fellows person, from the
middle of his back down to his knees, was one
solid rash ugly, painful, blotched and malicious
We had no rest at night, no peace by day; finally
we we're all advised to try the Cuticura Rene
dies; the effect was simply marvellous; in three
or four weeks a complete cure was wrought,
leaving the little fellows person as white and
healthy as though he had never been attacked:
in my opinion, your valuable remedies saved
his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy child,
